switched the i3 to an i5 4460 and an zalman zm-t3 however I'm not sure sure if the r9 280 will fit as it dimensions are :
262(L)X112(W)X34(H) mm

however the zalman says:
PCI/AGP Card Compatiblility up to 250~300mm

should support that cpu from bios F2 which is from "2014/01/24" which should be on it by now.I see now "out of stock",sorry.
I think this cpu is less expensive at amazon?

OP, that build looks pretty decent for the price.
